Tips from the Community
The most important is the Fountain that you will find halfway up, fresh water that will save you, especially on summer days. The Guimerà castle is strategically located on the border between the plateau and the ridge of the Corb valley, built on a plain of living rock, where today the remains of the medieval enclosure extend, expanded in several phases to the western end, and linked through the old cemetery to the Gothic church. Its characteristic feature is its round watchtower and defense. It is a building declared a cultural asset of national interest. Source: Wikipedia

town with medieval charm to reach or from which to depart on the multiple routes, around "la Vall del Corb". Climatic refuge between L'Urgell and La Segarra and from there you can connect with Conca de Barberá

Guimerà is simply spectacular. Its historic center is built in stone, as well as its church and tower. If you get lost in its streets it is as if you get into a time machine that transports you to the Middle Ages.

The Tallat sanctuary appears in records as early as the 11th century, where a defense tower was located that took advantage of the magnificent views over the l'Urgell, Sagarra and Conca de Barberà regions. In the middle of the 14th century, a church was established as a result of the popular initiative of the residents of Rocallaura, and in 1475 it is said that a wooden carving of a Virgin Mary appeared to a shepherd. Legend has it that despite repeated attempts to move the carving, it returned to the place where the sanctuary is now, so they decided to leave it here. Then began a period of splendor for the sanctuary, with numerous reforms during the 15th and 16th centuries, some promoted by Fernando el Católico himself, who is said to have spent the night with Queen Isabella la Católica in 1493. By order of the king, it became in the priory of nearby Poblet, and a group of monks from the Cistercian order settled there. With the confiscation of Mendizabal in the first half of the 19th century, the monks abandoned the priory, and after the subsequent looting and destruction of the enclosure, the sanctuary remained abandoned until 1970 when a private association acquired the remains and took charge of their restoration and custody.

Near Vallbona de les Monges, in Lérida, we find these so-called "scarecrows" that are there for the exact opposite, since it is part of a project called ''Estima Ocells'' (he wants birds) and on their heads, there are birdhouses, and thus, attract them. It is one of the most photographed places by bicycle lovers, in the province of Lérida.
